Corid treatment question

[Wyorp Rock]

Your help on the previous post was a huge help in us deciding to try corid. Thank you.

Our girl was sick before the flystrike happened. We have that issue cared for better now.

We’re now focusing on her being sick and doing what is possible to help her.

I hope I did nothing to offend you, it was never my intention. I’m trying to do all of this while recovering from knee replacement surgery 1 week ago. My poor husband now has 2 patients to care for.

I agree, I'd suspect that she may have some reproductive issue or something else going on.

Do the best you can to treat the FlyStrike and go from there.
The Corid will not hurt her if you are giving that.

You absolutely did not offend me in any way! I was just trying to clear up any misunderstanding/miscommunication about dosing and how terminology was being used. I'm often fairly straightforward and direct, so often folks may misread me. We're good!
I hope she gets better.

Thank you so much!

The flystrike is looking much better. We're washing her rear twice a day, spraying wound spray & applying triple ointment after each washing. We soak her almost daily in epsom & warm water.

We're on day 3 of corid for all girls, as well as the oral drops for our sick girl (last dose tonight). She seems to have more energy, but the diarrhea is still happening and very watery with some green bits in it. We're trying what we can think of to get the diarrhea to stop, but she's just not eating much. She will eat out of my hand (more than my husband's), but I'm very limited due to the knee surgery I just had. My poor husband was only expecting one patient, not two, to care for. Would you have any tips on what items we could try to feed her to help stop the watery poo? Maybe we're missing something...

I saw Biostop, but I can't find it in the USA and not sure if there's something like it in the USA

You'd have to research ingredients and find something comparable that's available in the U.S.

When a hen is sick or has something going on, often the poop is very loose. I'm not sure what you can give that would help.

I see you thinking about giving Imodium on another thread, I would research that just to be sure if it can be given and what the proper dosing is. I cannot find a reference for dosing/administering Imodium in the formularies that I have access to. Just sayin'

White cooked rice with buttermilk can sometimes help soothe the gut and help with loose poop, but it all depends on what's ailing a hen.

Thank you. We’ll get buttermilk today then. I like that idea. Thank you

Thank you EVERYONE for all of your knowledge & wisdom! Our girl recovered well and is back with the flock ruling over them all.
